NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Freiheit

from Adolph Fischer, anarchist, to Herr
Most:
COOK COUNTY JAIL, Nov. 5. 1851
My Dear Friend Most: ~
AS only six days remain for me on
earth, think it time for me to bid You
farewell. When you have read in the
newspapers that four of US have
asked for grace, demanding either
liberty or death, you can imagine
that answer would be nothing else but
death. You can believe me, John, that
the thoughts which come in my mind at
this supreme moment Of my wife and
three children make my heart very
heavy, but am resolved to be firm.
The social revolution brings sorrow to
our noble cause. Anarchy must
have its martyrs. 1 must
leave my life at the altar
of good cause. When stupid young
parents are willing to give their lives for
King and Kaiser, who rule by the grace
of God and tyranny in royalty, should we
who wear ours of liberty and an
archy not be willing also to give
our lives for the highest and noblest
principles. Should we let ourselves be
considered by our friends, and be afraid
of harm coming to Us? No, we
must show our enemies anarch-
lists are willing to die for
their cause. l have praised our true
principles and am ready to 60 TO the
see fold again for them. l say again fare
we'll and to be true to our cause as you
always were.
I hope you may take part in the last
lusl contest. How readily would l be ct
your side and hold firm on the beloved
red standard, but it will not be. Il
was stated I should be the pioneer
or advance guard in this battle, and
should lose my life and be happy. Long
life TO the social revolution, long may an
archy reign. l give. you brothers. en-
brace, and remain yours affectioDately,
ADoLPH FISCHER.
2. S-Give my kind regards to my
friends, see that my family know no want
and that the children have s good edu-
cation.

DALLAS, TEX, Nov. 10.-Mr. Charles j.
R isenweber, VINO has been engaged in
professional work in this city for some
time, and who is an ettache of a Chicago
detective agency, was seen byI a GAZETTE
reporter to-day, who obtained some very
interesting facts regarding the Hsymsrket
tragedy in Chicago, May 4, 1886. At the
time of the occurrence M. Rsi5enweber
was connected with the police force in
Chicago and was an eyewitness to the
terrible deed, which at the time brought
death to eight brave officers, wounded
nearly l40 others, and which will in all
probability tomorrow bring inexorsble
Justice on the seven condemned anarch-
lists.

and it wGs from the excitement
caused by the constant surveillance
OF the police that eliminated in the

element was in greater strength there
than the anarchist"

did you see at Hsymarket?"
"Well, l saw Spies, Fielden and Par
sons and am not certain about the others.
